0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 In all the country Tom is best but in broken down to just North Dakota, Jane is best. Maybe she was born there and has many loyal fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 akaslickster Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Tom is not the best because he doesn't live there?Tom lives on the Canadian boarder side.Tom is the best writer in the country. Jane is the Second best writer in the country. Tom and Jane are the only two writers in North Dakota. Tom is not best writer in North Dakota. How is that possible?

0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 They are both located in Fargo. Tom may be the better writer in the country, due to his rural upbringing, but Jane has the advantage in the city! I know that's not what you're looking for, but that's all I got.

Barack and Hillary are the only 2 democrat candidates in Pennsylvania. Barack is not the "best" democrat candidate in Pennsylvania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 In all the country Tom is best but in broken down to just North Dakota, Jane is best. Maybe she was born there and has many loyal fans there. This was my first guess, so let me try: The contest was national, not voted by states, but by a committee. So ND never had a way of measuring best writer in a National light and never had a state-level competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) There are 2 Tom's . One is the best writer in the country and another is from North Dakota who isn't the best writer . Definitely sounds far-fetched though. Edited April 24, 2008 by grey cells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Because there are two best writers(the best and the second best),not only one.That's why Tom is not best writer.The correct is to say,that in North Dakota are the two best writers in the country-Ton and jane.Tom is the best writer in the country. Jane is the Second best writer in the country. Tom and Jane are the only two writers in North Dakota. Tom is not best writer in North Dakota. How is that possible?

0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 No one has got it yet. Think of your elementary school english class. Tom is better then Jane. Tom is the better writer in ND (not "best"), since there aren't 3 writers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I think Enlightened is correct. If there are only two writers, than no on is the "best", you can only have one who is "better" than the other. However, there are more than two writers in the country, so he can be the "best". This is just thinking back to my English classes, and what Enlightened had to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
